A shot of espresso contains less caffeine than a SHOT of regular coffee. Anything else is just in your head.

Sorry, wrong... A shot of espresso does have less caffeine than a CUP of regular coffee, but it definitely has more caffeine per SHOT. A cup of brewed coffee is somewhere between 100 and 200 mg per 8 oz. cup depending on the type (200mg/8oz = 25mg/oz for a strong coffee). A shot of espresso is generally 50-75 mg per oz.

But in the end, that does mean that quad mocha only has about 200-300 mg of caffeine, or about the same as two cups of average coffee.

We have a winner!!!!!!

Nothing like someone trying to counter a supposed myth with a "fact" that really is an urban myth.
